Is it just me or should Ed Norton be playing Larry Bird's life story vs. playing The Hulk?
Ed is starting to look like a skinny version of Larry these days.
The Hulk and Larry Bird have a lot in common:
-Both are very tall: The Grey Hulk stands at 6 feet 6 inches tall and Larry stands at 6 feet 9 inches tall.
-Both had troubled childhoods growing up which defined their future.
-Both have mild mannered personalities until they get mad and then dominate their competition.
-Both are defined by the color green.
The Hulk also has one of the greatest & fastest healing abilities in the Marvel Universe. He can heal in a matter of minutes from wounds that would prove deadly or incapacitating to nearly everyone else.
This is very similar to Larry. He had one of the greatest & fastest healing abilities in the NBA Universe. He can heal in a matter of minutes from wounds that would keep anyone else out of a playoff game.
Check out Larry's super human strength in the clip below. Go Celtics!!!

Mike fantastic comparison, both classic and timely. I'm confident that the Celtics will win in 6 games and that the Hulk film will be pretty good - a lot better than that previous piece of Ang Lee garbage. Here's another bullet point for your comparison:
Ed Norton wanted to be a big part of the film production so he co-wrote it and had a deal with the studio giving him a big say in the final edit.
Larry Bird wanted a big part in every game and always had a say in the final play.
(kinda of a weak comparison but still good enough to mention)
GO CELTICS!
Also, if I were you, I would have posted those facts in some shade of green and not yellow.
Who do I sound like?
Let's not forget...
BIRD spent years denying Corrie Bird is his daughter.
NORTON spent years denying he was in Death To Smoochy.
BIRD at 3-Point Shooting Contest, 1986: "I'm just looking around to see who's gonna finish up second."
NORTON after meeting Brad Pitt on the set of Fight Club: "Is there a ventriloquist missing his dummy?"
BIRD: Once known as The Great White Hope.
NORTON: Once known as Derek Vinyard, white supremacist.
BIRD: Refers to foreplay as "dribbling."
NORTON: Refers to foreplay as going "Down In The Valley."
BIRD: Regrets dropping out of IU before playing for Bobby Knight.
NORTON: Regrets dropping pants with Courtney Love before test results came back.
BIRD: Don Mattingly's brother-in-law.
NORTON: Cal Ripken's ass-kisser.
